What is another word for chronic glaucoma?
Pronunciation: [kɹˈɒnɪk ɡlɔːkˈə͡ʊmə] (IPA) 
Chronic glaucoma, also known as primary open-angle glaucoma, is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve and results in vision loss. There are several synonyms for chronic glaucoma, including chronic open-angle glaucoma, primary glaucoma, and chronic simple glaucoma. Other variations of the disease include normal-tension glaucoma, which occurs with normal eye pressure, and low-tension glaucoma, which often appears without any warning signs. The symptoms of chronic glaucoma can vary but typically include blurred vision, halos around lights, and difficulty adjusting to darkness. If left untreated, chronic glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial for managing the disease.
